AMC Jeep CJ – Accessories & Off-Road Upgrades

Hansen Styling Parts offers selected accessories for classic AMC Jeep CJ models (1972–1986).

The range includes exterior mirrors, stainless steel accessories, front and rear bumpers, fender flares, spare wheel covers, wheel spacers and other accessories.

When choosing accessories, consider the exact CJ model, model year, mounting points and any existing vehicle modifications.

The Jeep CJ-5 has a shorter wheelbase and a more compact body than the Jeep CJ-7. Introduced in 1976, the CJ-7 features a longer wheelbase and larger door openings.

Both models feature a traditional ladder-frame chassis and solid axles with leaf springs.

Due to differences in body dimensions and mounting points, bumpers, mirror brackets and other accessories are not automatically interchangeable between these models.

Different exterior mirrors, mirror brackets and stainless steel accessories are available for classic Jeep CJ models, either as replacements or for custom vehicle styling.

Important factors include existing mounting points, door and body configuration and the exact model year.

When modifying mirrors, the legally required rearward visibility must be maintained. Stainless steel accessories should be installed and maintained according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Various front and rear bumpers are available for Jeep CJ models and can change their classic off-road appearance.

Important considerations include frame mounting points, vehicle dimensions and differences between the CJ-5, CJ-7 and other CJ versions.

Many aftermarket bumpers are supplied without vehicle-specific approval documentation. This does not automatically mean that they are legal for public road use.

Legal compatibility should be checked before installation.

Fender flares can improve wheel coverage and complement the classic off-road appearance of the Jeep CJ.

The correct fit depends on body shape, wheel arch design and mounting points of the specific CJ model.

When using wider tyres, different wheels or wheel spacers, adequate tyre coverage must be ensured.

Installation must comply with applicable technical and legal requirements.

Jeep CJ-5 and CJ-7 models from 1972–1986 generally use a 5 × 139.7 mm wheel bolt pattern, also known as 5 × 5.5 inches.

Wheel fastening, hub centring, axle configuration and wheel dimensions must also be considered.

Since older Jeep CJ vehicles have often been modified, the actual axles and wheel hubs should be checked before purchasing.

The selected wheel spacers must be compatible with the existing vehicle and wheel combination.

The correct spare wheel cover depends on the size of the installed spare tyre and the type of cover.

The most important measurements are the overall tyre diameter and tyre width. The tyre size printed on the sidewall provides a starting point for selecting a suitable cover.

For classic CJ vehicles equipped with larger aftermarket off-road tyres, always verify the required size before purchasing.

Modifications to a classic Jeep CJ must comply with applicable vehicle regulations, particularly when installing wheel spacers, bumpers, fender flares and other safety-related accessories.

Accessories requiring approval may be supplied with a TÜV parts certificate (Teilegutachten) or a German Parts Type Approval (Teiletypgenehmigung, TTG). Inspection requirements depend on the applicable documents and conditions.

Vehicles registered with a German historic H licence plate must also meet the requirements for historic vehicle status. Period-correct modifications may be permitted under certain conditions.

Before carrying out extensive modifications, we recommend consulting an authorised technical inspection organisation.
